Just popped in for a pint, drank it and took the glass back to the bar and said “thanks goodbye!” The barman uttered a thank you then put his hand up with the middle finger pointing upwards. We all know what this adds up to and as I’ve never seen him before can you suggest something. I certainly can.
Nice spacious pub, cool on a hot day. Quick service and drinks reasonably priced. The pub and toilets were clean. Didn't use the outside area.
Prices of drinks are pretty good, but the pub it's self needs a good clean, everything is sticky and grubby! Much prefer the bars and atmosphere on Ropergate.
Uneven floors ripped furniture and going into the ladies in the dark with a trip hazard is an accident waiting to happen…. So yeah brill place 😂 not disabled accessible at all… no heaters working outside loud not very popular music bar staff the lady with the long dark hair needs customer service training….
